Proverbs 29:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ You must use more than words to show a servant what is right.
    Even if he understands what you say, he will not obey you.
²⁰ Do you know anyone who speaks before he thinks?
    A foolish person is more likely to become wise than that person.
²¹ You may give a servant everything that he wants from his birth.
    But if you do that, he will be useless in the end.
